Freymiller Bound;Reefer Madness Begins!!!

hey flight, u mind telling me what the starting mileage pay is? i have 10 years driving experience. thanks!

 

Freymiller bases their pay based on longevity at your previous employer. So if you have 13 years exp, but only stayed at you last job for 6 months, then that's what you get paid for...at least that's how it was explained to me. The best thing to do would be to call the recruiter and talk to her.

 

This seems like another way for a company to pay you less money. I'm not advocating job hopping but if you have 3 or 5 or 35 years of experience... that's what the pay should be paid on... not that you only spent 90 days with a previous employer because you thought they'd be a good fit and they weren't or because just before you went there and they were bought out by a larger company and don't want to work with them... or for whatever reason. Experience is simple... it doesn't make sense to me, does it to you. But I guess you're right, call the recruiter and see what they say. Good luck with it anyway!

 

I talked to our recruiter about the pay, and this is the way she explained it to me: Pay is based on longevity with your previous employer regardless of how much experience you have.

0-6 mos. $.34
6-12 mos. $.35
12-18 mos. $.36
18-24 mos. $.37
over 24 mos and max pay at Freymiller $.38

To answer stuey: She stated that if a driver has 10 years experience, spent 3 months at their last employer, but was employed for 5 years at the 2nd to last employer, then she won't start that driver out on the bottom...more like $.36cpm. Now if that driver has 10 years experience, spent 3 months at the last employer, 4 months at the 2nd to last, 2 mos...etc, then he will start at $.34. It is worth noting that she said nobody starts at .38cpm. Raises are given out every 6 months @ $.01cpm. I hope that helps!

 

where all do they run?

 

everywhere but the pnw (OR, WA.) Unless you live there.

 

Suppose to be joining Freymiller on the 22nd...wanna know if anyone knows about their lease program. I know they have % and mileage.

 

wow...they use to run washington and oregon a lot when i drove for them, but that was back in the early 90.s...there runs must have changed a lot....do they run arizona and california much? how about florida

 

A lease is a lease is a lease. Read any other thread on here about leasing, and that will pretty much cover it. I can tell you that, if you fall too far behind, they will yank the lease from you.

We run CA, AZ, and FL quite a bit. Everywhere but the PNW.

 

well, when i drove for freymiller, they were 800 trucks......then when i stopped driving in 94, freymiiler declared bankruptcy a couple of yrs later..i heard he messed around with another woman, and his wife filed divorce....and i quess they had 2 bad law suits they were paying for...freymiller probably lost some of the big accounts they had in the northwest...and they hauled fish out of washington for long john silvers....freymiller back in the early 90s...were based out of bakersfield , ca...too bad what happen to them, but it looks like they are on the right track now, and slowly growing
